You guys know that I've been perpetually optimistic about the forecast for this team going back to the beginning of our rebuild when we traded Sale/Q/etc...
But... after losing TA today? Our next 9 games are on the road against TOR and TB. Then, home vs LA.
I predict we will win around 2 of these games. Sending our season on a downward spiral that not even the return of Lance Lynn and Eloy Jiminez can salvage.
I no longer believe that Grandal, Moncada, etc. will come around. (Not saying they can't - I am simply done banking on it) I can't lean on Eloy to stay healthy and Lynn is sort of a fickle issue to me. He's 35 now and always has struggled with his weight. Who knows what kind of shape he comes back in...
And even if these guys return in good form. If we're 5-6 games under .500, 7 games back in the central, and everybody else looks how they do now? Plus, TA potentially out for a while. How good do you really feel about this club?
I know we won today. That being said, it was more of the same old shit from the offense and we sort of pulled one out of our asses against a bad Cubs team. Scoring a run is SUCH a damn chore and it doesn't seem to be changing.
It's about to be June and I'm losing faith. This little stand we have coming up is make it or break it for me. We have to at least hold our own, IMO.
